Actor Joe Odagiri and actress Yu Kashii reportedly registered their marriage on Saturday, February 16. The date was chosen partly because their birthdays both fall on that day, but also because it fit best into Odagiri's busy schedule. He is starring in three overseas films this year, which are taking him out of the country for more than half of 2008.

The pair announced their engagement at the end of last year. In January, Odagiri began filming in Korea for Kim Ki-duk's "Bi-mong," which wrapped up in time for him to make an appearance at the Japan Academy Awards ceremony on Friday.

Next month, Odagiri is headed to Brazil for about two months. He has been cast in the China-Brazil-Japan collaboration "Plastic City," which is being directed by Yu Lik Wai and produced by Jia Zhangke.

Then in the summer, Odagiri will be in China for three to four months for a film produced by Bill Kong, based on a short story named "Rousaiki" by author Yasushi Inoue.

Odagiri and Kashii have not yet started living together, nor have they scheduled a wedding ceremony.
